I thought I'd read somewhere that non-stick gives off some sort of toxins if it exceeds something like 500 degrees.
Would something like a cake pan or brownie pan be safe to use in the firebox just to catch ashes???
I can see your point! It had been years since I have had Famous Dave's q and my father-in-law had a gift certificate he wanted to use. They ended up getting the large feast for everyone. It was horrible. The brisket didn't have a smoke ring and was completely flavorless, the ribs were bland...
Any suggestions on stack placement? I'm thinking it's too high so I was going to have it moved down so it's even with the bottom shelf...I could be completely wrong here too?
Ok so now that I've rescued this gem from the rough, it's time for a little polish. I've got my friend ready to weld the shelving brackets in and put the handles on but before he does that I really want the inside to be ready for seasoning.
First question I have is what is the easiest way...
All of the inside grates are 1/4" expanded steel. There's a little rust inside and yeah, the stack is attached too high, but I'll see what I can do to mod that...
I'll also have to see about putting in a clean out valve and door for emptying the ashes too.
I went ahead and pulled the trigger... I got it for $100. I figure that's less than a chargriller and probably pretty close to what I'd be out building a uds.
It's not quite finished, there are 2 grates, so that's about 2000 sq in cooking space...a lot more than the 800 on the cg. The guy...
Here's a pic...
Oh, and it's not quite done being built. It still needs a shelf for the grates to sit on both in the firebox and in the main chamber and it needs handles.
I'm looking for a general guideline here, is it worth $1000 or $100...
I found a smoker on Craigslist and I'm just curious what everyone here thought the value would be... It's dimensions are 48*24 and it's made out of 10 guage steel with a side firebox. Pretty much looks like a chargriller. I just don't want to offer the guy too much for it if it's not that great.
Why do people feel the need to dig up issues that have been dead and buried? If you read the entire thread by Grothe you would have noticed that he admitted that he got worked up and simply apologized for his comments.
A knee jerk reaction will not solve anything! Read everything before...
You can get it pretty much anywhere that sells bbq supplies or accessories.
Check out Lowes, Menards, Home Depot, Westlake, heck I've even picked it up at the grocery store in a pinch...keep an eye open for Royal Oak brand.
This really was fun!! I judged the Nebraska State BBQ Championship Saturday and smoked a roast and a couple fatties Sunday...what could be better?
My wife was getting such mocking me relentlessly until it came time for the pictures...then it was, "no, you can't do that-the light isn't right...
And here's my version of the pizza fatty...pepperoni, buffalo mozzarella, straight from the garden basil & oregano, crushed garlic and diced sundried tomatoes with a light Italian seasoning rub. For serving, each slice is set on a homemade artisan biscuit with a fresh marinara on the side and...
Ok, here's my first q-view fatty...It's actually buscuits, fried eggs & gravy! It only takes half of the fatty for about 4 servings. I have to say that I have never had anyone say they have ever had better...not braggin'.
